Sounds wonderful!

I'm very excited by this! Will it be the same programme of works running each night Julia ? Or is it best to book for all evenings if we want to see every choreographer?

Thanks for this Julia. I'm sorry you've had to cancel the Monday performance but I will definitely make it to at least one of the others and will spread the word to friends and colleagues at  Roehampton University. Looking forward to Speak Easy Secrets too.
